Divide and Conquer
We have the purveyors
That hide the truth
Causing division
Poising the minds of youths
With hateful ideologies
And entangled roots
In a confused state
They spread the lies
In a toll of consequences
And on the streets
Innocents die
Their aim is but one
To keep us in a cage
Whilst they bask in glory
Of ill-begotten gains
Equality and justice
They fail to see
In the propagation of poverty
That affects you and me
There is all the resources
That mankind ever needs
But we are robbed of its riches
When its driven by greed
They see it as a sanctuary
When we all start to fight
For the crumbs on the table
When the bulk is taken
In the midst of night
Not for a need to be fulfilled
But as a weapon of sorts
To divide and conquer
Tearing us apart
They say kindness
Is within every one
But in confused state of nations
And across every land
The purveyors that hide the truth
Is found in every land
Diverting our attention
So we fail to understand
That there is unity of purpose
When mankind understand
In keeping a central focus
To be kind to everyone.
